Trolling Butt
AB1 butts are not only stylish giving you that unique “bling” factor but are made of high-grade unidirectional carbon fiber, structured in layers to create high resistance to impacts and heavy loads. They are no joke. Currently available as a #2 Short Curved Butt with more sizes to come.

Roller Guides
These innovative roller guides are designed with a double foot movement to help adjust to the action of the blank, on which they are installed, while under stress. By following the arc of the rod, these roller guides will not change the action of the rod blank. Click here for more details

Roller Tops
The AB1 Roller Tops are made of the finest Titanium using the latest technology to offer maximum strength with beautiful design. Click here for more details

In the past Hypalon was the grip material of choice for many rods, but recent changes in the laws have made it impossible for Hypalon to be manufactured or imported to the USA. Well there’s where we come in, after testing various materials for a suitable replacement we came across EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). This is a synthetic foam rubber material that has the same characteristics of hypalon, but is legal to make and use in the USA.

This is always the most exciting time of the year hear at Batson Enterprises as we release our New Products for the 2018 season (some of which is already available). So much time and energy goes into every product, from concept to design to testing to manufacturing. Then to finally release these products out to the public, it’s an incredible feeling to all of us here at the offices to see fish caught on our rod blanks and components.

This year is a bit less than new products than the massive 2017 release but there’s still quite a few exciting products coming out from our Batson Enterprises brands: RainShadow Rod Blanks, ALPS and ForeCast.

RainShadow Rod Blanks

For all you Tuna hounds out there, earlier in the year we released 5 longer models in our popularRCJB (Jig/Boat) series of rod blanks. Featuring durable RX6 Graphite in the butt with E-Glass in the tip for a combination of Extra Fast action and incredible strength.

We also release a new 8-foot RCTB Tuna rod blank (RCTB80XXH). This meat stick is a powerful rail rod for heavy duty Big Eye Tuna. This one is for the ultimate custom rod builder, designed so it can be cut down to different lengths.

For the first time ever we’re releasing a Kit Rod Blank for saltwater trolling. Designed to fit the ALPS #1 size aluminum but, you simply have add a fore grip and our Kite Tip Top.

Not to leave out the Bass and pan fish fans out there we’ve got new offerings in our REVELATION rod blank line.

We’ve been hearing the need for2-Piece REVELATION rod blanksfor awhile so we’ve adapted our most popular one-piece models and made them into two pieces for the traveling angler.

Recently BASS announced the use of rods up to 10-feet long in tournaments. So our Jaguar Designed team was challenged to design an 10-foot rod that will fit a standard rod locker. So they developed a single Telescopic line of Crankbait rod blanks.

Were you disappointed in no longer being able to get Hypalon grips, well we’ve got the replacement for you in our newForeCast EPDM Grips. This synthetic foam rubber has the same characteristics of hypalon but is legal to make and use in the USA.

With the trend of having longer rods with split grips, our Jaguar Design team has come out with a new 4-Inch Fighting Butt. This longer fighting butt adds more comfort for the two handed cast on a longer rod.

Last but not least is ForeCast Freshwater and Saltwater Tip Top Repair kits! These are perfect for the serious angler or retail shop that does quite a few Tip Top replacements. The Freshwater kit includes 170 ForeCast P Tip Tops and the Saltwater kit includes 180 ForeCast SU Tip Tops along with Tip Top Adhesive.

Not to mention our recently released Team RainShadow Pliers, Braid Scissors and Fillet Knife which are available at Build2Fish.com

We just can’t help ourselves when we develop a new product and test it, we get so excited that get them in stock early!

First, due to popular demand we’re introducing 5 NEW models in our popular RainShadow RX6/E-Glass RCJB Rod Blanks. We took our very popular 84H and 84XH and made them longer. This, combined with our previous offerings, will give you everything that you need in your Tuna arsenal!

We’d also like to introduce our latest product: Cold Shrink Tubing. This tubing is considerably thicker than our x-flock and doesn’t need heat to shrink over your existing worn out grips. Or use it to build a whole new grip. Currently offered in 12″ and 18″ lengths.
